SBR, you need to comment on this BetIslands / EasyStreet bailout

[NSN21]

So that you can minimize the number of players that fall face first into another massive scam.

I want them to comment on the bailout they were trying to help us out with..they said there were books that wanted to help us..they said there were meeting on the 24th where it was being discussed...since then not a word.

[Dark Horse]

SBR also requested deposit information since November, which suggests they're looking into compensating players. May take a few days to get everything cleared up. Let's see where this goes. A D-book 'bail out' with scam written all over it is certainly not the bailout referred to earlier this week.

i don't see how sbr commenting on this would help. the potential scenarios:

sbr makes a statement that ez street is the same scam as betislands and player funds are not safe --> i would conclude that ez street is the same scam as betislands and player funds are not safe

sbr makes a statement that ez street is not related to betislands, they have verified backing and funds are safe --> i would conclude that ez street is the same scam as betislands and player funds are not safe

sbr makes no statement --> i would conclude that ez street is the same scam as betislands and player funds are not safe

So....what exactly are you trying to say?

So....what exactly are you trying to say?

He's trying to say that an SBR comment is worth about as much as betting $2 on a 3-5 favorite to show ....and it runs 4th!

I used to respect you Dark. Now you're just a penetrating sell out chasing your loses. Be a penetrating man.

It's not a bailout at all. At best, it's a new deposit bonus with an overall -EV expectation. At worst, it's an opportunity for a new scam. Do we really need SBR to tell us this is a sham as far as "bailouts" go?

[KGambler]

SBR needs to visit Betisland's (former) offices and let us know what is going on there. Is it totally cleaned out? And if it's true that the BI office is shared with SleazyStreet, they need to man up and talk about that. They should also tell us where "Jon" is working now. Word is that he is employed by EZStreet now.

If it saves even 1 person from falling into the trap... then yes.

[Bill Dozer]

I made the post below earlier. EZ's offer is probably not bringing them in anything except what they perceive to be good or preemptive PR. If it was bonus season, players would mathematically be better off taking their money and making a series of smaller deposits elsewhere that offer better bonus to rollover ratio. Their offer to only profitable players would put them with all the bonus money back along with some of the player money.

We are only updating with what we are told. We even told Robbie who is putting up the made up stories that if he wanted to do a real bailout instead of spam the list and try to make SBR look bad with it, we would document it heavily and his brand would get valuable recognition once the players got payouts as a result.

SBR can't incentivize an unproven book to do it. Otherwise we end up back in this situation again if they fail and new players are there because they were crowned a hero.

EZ Street's announcement that there would be a bailout only to offer a deposit bonus with rollover that should make them money, has added a speedbump in the process. Seeing how they already had the players on their system, if they were considering paying at least some everyone has to wait and see. Also, they won't share the balance and activity list so another book can offer something better where the player actually gains.

Jason is right in that the sooner the better.

It appears we have different definitions of manhood. Your's being the couch potato who accepts whatever is thrown at him. This is about a theft of > million US dollars, that has impacted a lot of players. I want justice. Go back to sleep.

So you are saying the info they posted about SBR affiliate accounts and the deposits made after such and such a date are fake?

[Triumph]

Ezstreet has robbed me before, Justin7 got me the $200 they tried to steal after i filed a complaint, why deal with scumbags again? Read the fine print, they will reserve the right to rob anyone they think might be sharp, so anyone who gets close to meeting the 15X roll will get shut down before they collect
